Batanguenos again reaffirmed and celebrated their devotion to Sto. Nino with a fluvial parade at Calumpang River in connection with Batangas City Fiesta, January 7.
Hundreds of devotees waited patiently around Calumpang River and Calumpang Bridge to witness Sto. Nino being paraded aboard boat with Church and government officials.
The fluvial parade is done in commemoration of the finding of Sto. Nino by a deaf-mute kid playing in the banks of Calumpang River in the mid-1180s. It is to be recalled that during that time, the river is full of floating logs with which the image of Sto. Nino was found.
Batangas City's more than 200,000 Catholic devotees again thanked the Sto. Nino for blessings they received throughout the year.
